Title A name given to the resource The Porto di Ripetta Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Clare Hiyama (2016) Edited by Tim Abbott (2026) Description An account of the resource The Porto di Ripetta was a small port on the Tiber. Pope Clement XI officially built the physical port in 1703, but that spot had been used as a landing for boats since ancient Roman times. Though the port was primarily a well-used riverbank during the Middle Ages, the Roman government collected tolls from people who landed there. The name of “Ripetta” was officially used for the first time in 1389 by Pope Boniface IX. The area around the Ripetta was primarily used to house storage areas for boatmen in the 12th century. During the late 14th century, a group of Slavs made a new home in the port’s surrounding area after being driven out of their native land after the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. They built a church near the port and dedicated it to San Girolamo degli Schiavoni. The church still stands today after being rebuilt in the 16th century, it can be found on Largo degli Schiavoni, close to the banks of the Tiber. The church is very close to the site of the old port, according to a 16th century map by Antonio Tempesta, the church is immediately inland from the Ripetta. Today, a street named “Via di Ripetta,” which runs from the Piazza del Popolo down past the site of the old port, commemorates the Porta di Ripetta. Abstract A summary of the resource. Although the name of “Ripetta” was officially used for the first time in 1389 by Pope Boniface IX, this northern port of the Tiber has a history reaching back into antiquity. At different times in its history, the riverbank of the Porta di Ripetta served as a Roman toll center, as a medieval storage area, and as part of a 14th century Slavic settlement.
